Maresca said: “Wilf will be out until the international break. It is also a muscular problem,”Maresca was quoted by the club’s official website.
“It’s a small thing but when the problem is muscular, even if it’s small, it’s always one week or two weeks because we don’t want to take any risks.”
Talismanic striker Victor Osimhen is also ruled out for the game, while there are concerns over the availability of defenders Semi Ajayi and Bruno Onyemaechi.
The Super Eagles will host the Crocodiles of Lesotho on Friday, November 17.
